Much of the work done at LCCIL promotes change in the lives of our consumers and community.  We inform persons with disabilities of their rights, effective methods of addressing discrimination, and the importance and ease of becoming actively involved in the legislative process. LCCIL staff assists individuals through the advocacy process.  We also encourage self-advocacy.  Your best advocate is yourself.  We can teach you strategies to be more effective advocates in your communities.
